[quote=Anonymous]Poster---- I so feel for you!!! I think you are completely right in being upset. What 17 year old knows what's best for him. Very very few.  Colleges do count- a lot- where they go can open doors.  I've found this board to be pretty far left so any time you talk about any kind of upper class type stuff, you'll get shut down. That's ok- but as a corporate exec, I do consider applicants college a lot. Now, not as much as what they've done after a few years-- but starting out especially important. 
   So couple questions- is your wife doing this out of spite??why wouldn't she want him to go to best school he could get in??  Second question, would he do well and like it? My brother went to top school in world -  now actually Oxford beat it out.  But back to that, neither of his smart sons wanted to go there-- they said too nerdy.  They wanted more mainstream school. So it wasn't right for them-- if though, good fit for your son, that really stinks that your wife is influencing him against going there. Shame on her.  And yes, a mom child lives with can have major influence.
  I so feel for you but not sure what you can do. Talk to your ex but afraid this is a side effect of divorce- your influence is greatly diluted.  Talk to your son too. Good luck.[/quote]
